Phase One of the new Police approach to mental health callouts takes effect today.

Police Association President Chris Cahill tells Mike Hosking that 11 percent of jobs that Police attend are related to mental health.

Police will still attend to people who are at risk of harming themselves or others. Overseas, the removal of police from mental health callouts has lead to better outcomes for patients.
